WHAT OTHERS SAY- "The log is so wonderful. I love that I can track my sessions and that the app tells me how many days I've gone in a row. It's extra incentive to keep me practicing. Fantastic, simple, and great."- "This is the best app I have found for meditation. One of the key elements in effectiveness of meditation is to do it regularly for a certain duration every day. I meditate at home, while waking, and in the subway. This app helps me to keep a record of my daily meditation time very easily. Great job. Thank you. :-)"- "I am an ordained monk and quite frankly, your app rocks!" - Venerable Yao Ma- "This is my favorite meditation app. The bells have very good sounds. Setting my own timers and intervals if needed is superb. The creators seem to really listen to the users of the users of the app & it shows. The daily reminders to meditate are a lifesaver for me on some days. I highly recommend this app to anyone wanting a nice customizable meditation timer."

Set it and forget it.

I am an active person, to say I like to move would be an understatement, and sitting still to meditate can at times be difficult (sometimes I meditate in a rocking chair). When I would meditate on my own I found myself often checking the clock, wanting to get up and move, but now I tap the start button and I forget about the clock, a gentle ding, or dong, of my choosing lets me know to focus my mind and until I hear that dong or a different ding of my choosing I know to continue focusing. I've become more adept at tuning out and tapping in. The whole app has a calming appearance and is intuitively navigate-able. I love the refreshing backdrop for the counter, the musical chimes to choose from, the vibrant community of meditators to observe, and the reminder to meditate is a wonderful setting for a busy lifestyle, I haven't missed a day with this app. Thank you ZenFriend for helping me to find my Zen.

I have used ZenFriend now for several years and find it a solid companion for my meditation practice. First with the straight forward timer function and then the log capabilities that give you visibility and effort tracking. Additionally, the guided meditations are a good kick start if you are just getting started or want a change of pace. Be a supporter - this is a great example of small but capable app solution.

This app offers a wide range of classes and ways to get started with meditation, and it doesn't try to make it too complicated. This app seems to be developed to help you develop a successful practice with out thinking to hard about it. The interface is simple yet mailable enough to fit it to your own style. After using it a while I can say that I love it!
